    Again, people are holding it against Thurman that no one has wanted to fight him. What kind of strange logic is that?

      This is what you guys like to believe, that everyone is running scared from Thurman. The reality is that for whatever reason Al Haymon has not decided to put Keith's skills through a real test just yet. I believe his time will come sooner rather than later and boy he better back all the sht he has talked.

        Maidana and Malignaggi both angled their way out of fights with him. I wouldn't say they ducked him, but the money was on the table to make those fights and they both went another way.

        You cant talk **** on a talented young fighters record if no one will give him a shot.

          No, Maidana, Paulie, and Guerrero all specifically said they did not want to fight Thurman.

          You can pretend they didn't say that if you want, but they did.

            Oh boy the breakdown will be worse than the Matthysse hype train getting derailed.

            I genuinely believe Thurman is an embarrassing World Star KO waiting to happen, something more embarrassing than Morales getting spun 180 degrees by Garcia.

              Paulie is a overhyped C class bum.

              Guerrero & Maidana were both coming off of losses.

                I think Thurman's next fight is Roberto Garcia.

                  To summarize:
                  Thurman is an untested prospect with a leaky defense and a questionable chin who is a KO waiting to happen which isnt the kind of fighter a power puncher wants to face as a tune up.

                      True this is why I consider him a hype job he almost got knock out by Soto Karass a C level fighter He wings punches and leaves him self open wait till he fights a A level fighter winging shots leaving himself open and see what happens
